Benefit High Beam – An oldie but a goodie

First of all I’d like to thank Sarah for trusting me to do a post on her great blog even though I’m only a newbie so it’s a real honour to be able to contribute!

Benefit High Beam is a must have of mine and my highlighter of choice. This highlighter has been a cult classic for a long time and while there have been many great highlighters launched since its arrival; I always come back to it. It’s excellent, reliable and a great staple to have in your make up bag, the make-up equivalent of a little black dress if you will!

High beam is a liquid highlighter that comes in a small bottle. The cap features a brush applicator making the whole effect like a nail polish and very cute. To apply I use the brush to dot two or three tiny dots on the areas I want to highlight and pat with my ring finger until completely blended, although some prefer to use a brush. This is always the last make up I apply aside from my mascara and I usually highlight one area at a time as the product dries very quickly and is hard to blend once dry.

As a highlighter you can use this on all the usual areas you want to highlight like the cheek bones, brow bone, nose, chin, you can also dab a tiny amount on your cupids bow to make your lips appear fuller. Alternatively you can mix a small amount of High Beam with your foundation to provide a subtle illumination giving your complexion a boost of radiance, great on days where your skin is a little dull.

Overall this is a beautiful product that is very subtle and flattering and pretty hard to go wrong with. Benefit also offers two other liquid highlighters, Moonbeam which is a yellow-toned version of the pinky-pearly High beam and Sun Beam which is a golden bronze highlighter, but Benefit is perfect for my skin tone.

It isn’t the cheapest at €27.50 but it lasts forever seriously! So if you love it as so many do then it’s good value for money.

Hey my lovelies!
Hope you are all having a good week! Am doing a quick review on some Paese cosmetics I won a few weeks ago!
Paese cosmetics are a Polish brand & recently have launched an Irish website & to celebrate likes on their Facebook gave away a Paese box & I was the lucky somebody!
So, want to have a wee look at what is in the Paese box I got?! Sure you do!!

First up, in the box was this gorgeous polish. I have yet to test it out yet (you know how I am by now, laziest beauty blogger ever when it comes to nails!) but I can tell that I will love the colour! Will see what the formulation is like & let you all know! This is shade no.21
Next thing in my Paese box was this gorgeous dusty/baby pink lipstick! It was a dream to apply, so creamy & not drying for the lips! This shade is no. 13

Matte matte baby! This eyeshadow trio is from Paese's matte shadow line "Kashmir Trio". I was AMAZED by the pigmentation! If I was honest, I am not a huge lover of…

I know, I know... its been a while... way too long in fact & I want to bring you up to date with what has been happening, and to let you all know I will be back blogging more regularly about the things I am liking, loving, hating or just getting up to! I is sorry!!!

So... since my last blog post A LOT has change!!
We are nearly a year married (we will be celebrating our anniversary in Las Vegas on 20th May!!)

The house has nearly been all fully re-decorated to suit our tastes so that was a busy few months.
We have also tidied up the outside of the house & all the fun that entails (fence painting, weeding...more weeding, honestly how DO weeds manage to spread so quickly!). No garden.. yet but we will get there!
While I am on the subject of interiors, would you like to see what we have done with the place? A little off the general subject of this blog but it has been a huge part of my life & still will be as I have a serious soft spot for homeware shopp…

Hiya folks,It's been months since I last wrote but this post has been a while coming.. It was just a matter of building myself up to writing it.. I still don't think I have the right words but in this situations I don't there are the "right" words. A lot has changed in my life since I was last talking to you all on the blog.. And this is why I have been quiet the last few months. Both my lovely, bubbly mum who was full of laughs & wisdom and my Granny L, full of wit & chat passed away at the end of September last year after loosing their battles with cancer. It was a shock loosing my mum, as she had been fighting it since last December & things were looking good. However, cancer has a way of springing things on you & quite rapidly last August things took a turn for the worst. My granny was also fighting cancer for the months previous too, but we knew she wouldn't get better so life had been a blur of hospital visits with mum & trying to make…
